Lyme disease can cause elevated CMV test

A doctor that I am seeing belives his practice to be pioneer in the understanding of Lyme disease. It seems to be immunosuppressive in nature and can cause EBV and CMV to activate. Many people do not realize they have been exposed to Lyme disease and have it for years before it is diagnosed. If you have an illness that has any of the symptoms on the Lyme checklist and have tested postive to CMV or EBV, it would be worth it to be tested for Lyme at a special lab like iGeneX lab in CA. Regular labs do not test sensitively enough to catch ongoing, undiagnosed Lyme. I know all this because I suffered for 9 years with recurring fevers, sweats, headaches, sore throat, pain upon deep breathing, and many others. Best wishes.
